28 Weeks and Counting

We have been busy having a lot of fun. If you haven't already noticed, I just added a few backdated posts below this one so if you want to know what we think is "fun", scroll down and see what we've been up to.

I am now 28 weeks along in this lovely pregnancy of the twins. I still feel quite awesome. Other than extreme tiredness, my limbs occasionally falling asleep and little trouble sleeping due to aching hips, life is pretty good. I am measuring at 44 centimeters!!! We have verified and re-verified that one of these babies is in fact a girl and they are both growing well. At the last ultrasound, their measurements put them at the 70th and 72nd percentiles. They are still measuring 7-10 days ahead of schedule so we're planning on a September delivery, probably right around Labor day, if things continue on this path.

To keep cool lately, we've been spending time at the pool. I recently let each of the boys choose a water toy from Wal-mart. It was the best $6 I ever spent as each child now has their independence to move about as they feel. Cam chose a noodle, Gavin chose a Turtle-shaped floating tube, Owen chose one shaped like a monkey. After we blew them up the first day Owen turned to Gavin and said, "I will call mine Monk and your's Turd." I couldn't help but laugh. (Gavin is trying to teach himself to swim so there aren't any pics of Turd, unfortunately.)
